- Start date
If they appreciated you, they'd be over to help with the wrenching! 
Updates... its been hell over here the last few months.
Got the car running... had a bit of a fire. Melted a lot of
Figured out the carb issue that caused the fire. Got it all fixed and running.
Then my dad passed away
Lost all motivation to work on the car
Went to start it and it didn't wouldn't start. Lost spark... fixed nothing and randomly had spark again. Could alway manually make the box spark. Just wouldn't spark with the crank trigger while cranking
Changed nothing and randomly had spark again
Bought an enclosed trailer
So we are all up to date now

Dude...
Lost my pop at 18. I've been through 2 wars on the front line, and it's still the hardest thing I've ever been through.
Sorry for your loss. It never stops hurting but will get better in time.
My motivation for this waxes and wanes. No big deal. It's in the blood. It'll be back. Dont force it.
Do you need any help, like parts or, to fix the fire damage?

Nah just a bunch of wires mainly and my throttle cable... Q16 dried out the o rings on the needle and seat and no matter how low i set the fuel pressure it would flood the carb out. Is mainly been a struggle cleaning everything.
Going to start picking up everything to go fuel injection and boosted. Need to talk to Roche about the motor and how much compression we can knock out of the motor with a head gasket change. We have also talked about doing a built coyote... whatever we do this will probably be last year on nitrous with a carb.

Car is currently for sale if someone wants to cut a check and go right into the 8s coasting from just after the 1/8...
45k turn key with 3 full bottle.
Not getting out of racing, will race the car till the day I have a deposit. Will continue to push the car to go faster.
Just trying to move into something better suited to go faster. Next goal is 7s coasting and 6s running it out. Have my eye on a car but gotta sell this one to make it work
